Scientific paper

We propose to test the hypothesis that jupiter-like planets are formed at distances from the primary dictated by the 'freezing' temperature of the volatiles which comprise jovian planets. Predicted periods for jovian planets orbiting Proxima Cen, a very late-type, low-mass star, range from 50 to 160 days. We shall monitor the positions of Proxima Cen with a time-resolution of 30 days in an attempt to confirm positional perturbations caused by a possible jovian companion. The longer observations of Proxima Cen during the CVZ orbits will allow us to montior for explosive flare events. Our 1 mas angular resolution could provide information on the location of explosive flares relative to the star center.
